I dunno... I guess I'm kinda happy with the way it turned out.

Here's some before and after pics.


Kentercanyon, I think you'd be proud.




Still want to make a few changes, but she's finally on the road... It's a start....

Really like the rear rack. I used to be a paper-boy for the Santa Ana Register.

Oh yeah! Love those bikes and that rear rack. Got a couple of DXs. Don't see too many of those medium bars. Have them on my Jag.

Thanks guys. Once again, I appreciate this site and all your input.

We just spent the weekend camping in the infield at the NASCAR track in Fontana. If any of you guys like NASCAR, I would highly recommend the "Infield Experience" at your local track. That place is a bike Heaven! I brought six bikes. Got a lot of comments on this one.

(BTW, My liver is sill in pain.)

This is a picture in front of the grocery store in the middle of the race track.

I just got one of those racks on a bike. Anyone know what it is? Did they make a similar front carrier?

I've always referred to those racks as "Paperboy Racks" assuming that they were used to support the cloth bags that the paperboys used to carry their newspapers in. For some reason, the words "Iron Horse" come to mind.

Someone else here may have a more accurate description.

Never seen that style for the front though.
